Overview
Previously, we looked at inviscid flow ( irrotational/potential flow)
For some cases, we can no longer ignore the viscous term
The viscous term can be interpreted as a vorticity diffusion term.
For some cases, we can still analytically solve the full Navier-Stokes equations:
- Fully-developed flow
- Pressure driven, Couette flow, Hagen-Poiseuille
- Taylor-Couette flow
- Self-similar solutions: Stokes' first problem
- Stokes' second problem
Introduction

In the absence of viscosity, flow fields remain irrotational potential flow

=k /C p : thermal diffusivity
Both kin. viscosity (momentum diffusivity) and therm. diffusivity have units m2/s
The viscous term smears out vorticity (or velocity gradients)
vorticity diffuses
away from wall:
fluid becomes rotational
no viscosity:
jump in velocity at wall,
i.e. line/sheet of vorticity

After some length(*), the boundary layers merge and an equilibrium is reached
- Core no longer accelerates (cannot go to infinity)
The velocity profile does not change anymore
u v
=0
Now, the /x term becomes zero: fully developed flow;
x y
Also: v term becomes zero, so advection term vanishes!
(Another interpretation: streamlines are parallel)

Flow
The previous cases were all stationary. Let's consider the flow
field caused by an infinite plate at rest that suddenly starts
moving (with a velocity U) this is Stokes' first problem.

We can simplify the problem by realizing that U

NB: the left-hand side is dimensionless, so right-hand side must be too!

Two observations:
1. The initial condition at the wall is a vorticity sheet;
no additional vorticity is concentrated, it only diffuses away from the wall.
2. If we choose u/U = 0.05 to define the thickness () of the layer in which the
velocity has penetrated, we find from the solution that this occurs at = 1.38.
